There was a disagreement with the FB group Admin on me giving away those dongles. So I decided to withdraw from that group as I want to write things freely

Understood. Once again, really appreciate the reviews you made and I'm sure others are extremely appreciative as well.

Has anyone tested the less da2 by romi audio? Since it’s made by romi I’m super tempted…

Ovidius B1

From 1-100 what's the score of ovidius b1 compared to a audioquest cobalt and e1da and ibasso dc03? Can you give them corresponding score and tell why?

I never tried the Cobalt so I have no idea what to say. E1DA and DC03 are still in testing phases as I just received them today as noted in the first page updates. Will probably get clear picture on them later this week after some extensive sessions. I have like 20 dongles to juggle now

A new dongle from ddHiFi. It looks really good.

Looks like they released three new ones: Eye, Mountain, Tetris.

Mountain looks neat and is free of wires!

I guess dd is doing a market test for different form factors. They're all spec'ed the same.

The Audirect Atom 2 has the same basic shape.

Yes. I somehow find dongles with this type of builds better for daily use if traveling is involved. Those dangling wires are actually an hindrance while commuting

This site isn't in English, but you can see from the graphs that it measures very well.

I have purchased this unit from Amazon and I love the sparkly and very coherent timbre. Nothing less from Audirect, consistent with their BEAM 2SE which uses the exact internals.

Looks great, specs are great.
Any idea where to buy it?

You can grab it from their AliExpress store.

Hi all,

Just bought me a dc03 and trying to update to the v1.1 firmware but having no luck on windows 10. Already installed the Savi BRAVO-HD Driver but the device still not detected. On the device manager it shows "Unknown USB Device(Configuration Descriptor Request Failed). Any guide to resolve the issue would be much appreciated.
